| 32. Linguistic Exegesis husteron {ὕστερον | hý-ste-ron} ‘afterward’ stands first, giving prominence to temporal sequence and marking this event as the concluding step in a chain of deaths. The conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} links this clause to the preceding narrative and, in this context, naturally carries the nuance “also” or “too,” indicating another death in the same pattern. The noun phrase hē gynē {ἡ γυνὴ | hē gy-nḗ} serves as the nominative subject, introduced with the article to specify the previously mentioned woman, not a new character. The verb apethanen {ἀπέθανεν | a-pé-tha-nen} is an aorist indicative, presenting the action as a simple, whole event in the past without internal elaboration. The Greek word order—adverb, conjunction, subject, verb—emphasizes both timing and continuity with what has already been narrated, which is best reflected in English by fronting the temporal adverb (“Afterward” / “Later”) and rendering kai with an additive sense (“also,” “too”) to maintain the narrative linkage. |
